general assembly accusing israel of illegally possessing nuclear stockpiles. with the jewish state. it is a pleasure to have you with us here today. schools killed and injured after at least two massive explosions rocked the syrian capital damascus the revolutionary council has claimed responsibility for the attack on a security building saying it's a response to. in the capital. the latest. there have been two explosions that have rocked the syrian capital of damascus what happened at the international airport. port of the four people have been injured

regarding that attack we have no more information at this point but we got to the other attack which happened at the palestine a branch of the syrian intelligence building and there are scores of people have been injured and killed now two rebel groups have taken responsibility for that attack but one is the revolutionary council of damascus this is a group that is believed to have strong links with al qaida it is also a group that is seeking the overthrow of the syrian president bashar assad and it's a group that is against dialogue in the statement they said that this explosion was in response to the syrian army's operation in damascus we also know that the rebels exploded at least seventy improvised explosives inside the buildings so this would seem to be the reason why the casualty count is so high opposition fighters and government troops have been fighting each other for control of the syrian capital for several months now as well as for control of the country's second

largest city this is a conflict that dates back to march of last year in which we've seen daily numbers of people killed sometimes that count being as high as one hundred. interview that was artie's policy reporting no tension over the hotly contested islands in the east china sea culminated in an actual water cannon battle some forty taiwanese ships including six patrol vessels entered the waters of what japan sees as its own territory japanese ships fired water cannons when the flotilla tried to get to the largest of the islands turning the hearses away taiwan became the third power to lay claim to be occupied to go further aggravating the high stakes route between tokyo and beijing the conflict over the ownership of the uninhabited islands exploded after japan nationalized three of them earlier in september. the investigative journalist james corbett warns the row was threatening to turn into a full scale confrontation. i think we have to understand this entire dispute not

in terms of the islands themselves which most average japanese and average chinese people i think don't don't really care about i think this is being played up as a as a nationalist sentiment nationalist fervor it has the potential to get bigger and right now australia is being proposed as a third party to arbitrate in a trilateral security talk between camber of beijing and tokyo over this dispute so we'll see if it does broaden out into the region we see the us starting its asia pacific pivot so i think it actually has an interest in increasing tensions between japan and china because that makes japan ever more eager to accept an american military presence which up until now there's been quite strong protests against but now we see them really military joint military exercises in guam etc so so it is increasing the japanese reliance on the american security blanket says that as it were and i think that's that plays into american interests so i think they actually

probably benefit from this dispute. and a gregory clark a former australian diplomat who told us i just a bit earlier here on tape that the united states could help settle the dispute but that is rather unlikely. the united states is happy to see japan and china japan and taiwan in dispute with each other because these forces do plan into a closer relationship with the united states japan is not going to speak in one it's taiwan china south korea with korea and with russia and in every case the result of the dispute will be to force each of these neighbors into a closer relationship with. north korea so that ukraine will become even more isolated will become somewhat hysterical and will be forced to rely entirely on the united states for comfort and support. or in all the details worth knowing

on this original tension in the east china sea available of course on our website r.t. dot com including further pictures of taiwanese fishermen preparing to claim ownership of the islands and details of ongoing talks between tokyo and beijing in an effort to separate. i said joining us here in r.t. today the average income of a household in the u.k. continues to spiral down and that's why the government reveals plans to shuffle billions out of the welfare budget now britain's spirit of survival might help to jumpstart the economy but as artie's sarah further explained that will be hardly enough to drag the poor out of the financial. britain's in the midst of a double dip recession and everybody feeling the pinch or all of a chilling new research has revealed that the gap between britain's rich and poor is widening in fact if you are one of the middle income or low income families in the search to tighten your belts even further it's still there by twenty twenty an

average low income family could see their net income for by as much as fifteen percent i think is really worrying for low income households because it shows that we don't just have a growth problem if you like and u.k. shows that even once growth those kick in households across the bottom half are going to be poorer in twenty twenty than they were in twenty now was alarming about this latest research is that it's based on a very generous assumptions about the future growth in britain now what that means is that even if person manages to repeat and so you get this piece to the economy to start slowly dragging its way out of this recession the not everybody is going to benefit in the ones who are going to be hardest hit going to be those middle income and low income families now in an age of austerity versus government's been accused of waging war on britain's poor chancellor george osborne wants to cut a further ten billion from the welfare budget again having that knock on effect to

the middle income low income families who need to support the most well you're on today we caught up with the resolution foundation to talk to them about this latest research they conducted there posing the all important question not just if and how britain repeats place but if it does say who it is he stands to gain. the poor are getting poorer it seems the rich are using every opportunity to continue stuffing their pockets certainly and focus on the cards report next hour here on our. voice anti-fraud boss who stole two point four million pounds told police she deserved cash for long hours the fraud took place during the financial crisis when boyd itself was receiving substantial amounts of taxpayer money so again. this woman for some reason gets arrested and sent to five years in prison for doing the same exact thing that ironically or not her bank was receiving billions and billions of these taxpayer money out here to bail out for their own fraud that's

the way things get at the end of the organized talk are saying is that those who are actually doing something to benefit society as this woman is obviously doing to try to put lawyers out of business and i see fantastically here in the city of london that thousands of caucus stock or c. bankers investment bankers will now be laid off this is fantastic this means that we are doing our job so that george osborne and david cameron i say that we're here we're on a mission to put the city of london completely out of business so far the news is good all those people are being shipped out of the city they're being forced to get real jobs shucking oysters down to cornwall and making cornish pasty for a living and that's the way it should be because they're just cock a stock of terrorists. to stay with us with a concert port later today here on finale the first day of the u.n.

general assembly in new york will predict will be mocked by a boiling over of tension between iran and israel the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad used his speech of the gathering to denounce israel's alleged nuclear stockpiles and it's a q patient of palestine iranian president's address to leaders on ministers from over one hundred countries to israel's ambassador to walkout. also implicitly accuse the u.s. of shielding israel and paving the way for a strike on terror but this comes just days after washington decided to remove an iranian militant group the m e k of its terrible act list. the policy director of the national iranian american council believes the sudden change of heart over an organization striving to overthrow the iranian regime. it's no coincidence. u.s. officials went you know public they went to n.b.c. and said is working with mossad to conduct assassinations inside of iran so there

is clearly at least reportedly still a paramilitary aspect to this group and they are committed to advancing their political agenda by using violence and here's the thing if these guys could. pressure their way off the terrorists they could pour millions of dollars into the top lobbying firms in the united states and basically manufacture this campaign to achieve their political agenda here imagine what they're going to do now that the any case off the list and you have all this money that we don't know where it's coming from is swirling around and the next push is we need war with iran there could be no mistake that this campaign was a campaign to make war more likely this was part of the push for war when you have negotiations between the u.s. and iran the number one hurdle from the iranian side is this perception that the united states doesn't actually want to negotiate. resolution to the nuclear issue that this is about regime change just like on our side our number one concern is we can't trust the iranians that they don't want to nuclear weapons this adds fuel to the fire inside of iran that this is really about regime change in the united

states is not going to accept any kind of diplomatic resolution. you're watching live from moscow still to come for you in this hour with the arab spring forcing people to flee their homes and head to europe many have found in their hour of need they have been turned down right at the front door and all that. really traded ruble is still pretty speculators investors in the currency. stories of the children. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest. we here in new directions quite hundred kilometers north of light of all stalk as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. mortgages

both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy longer set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests. and our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but

as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some morning call has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that trails the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to. take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the

government now is a start of that here for more for all forest legislation so as soon as the pals and so on we've got the new forest court and according to close up a new low for every for us it's the guys in waltham in the in the forest to the still exists for us courts still doesn't work just what should we do with there's no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do but it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. three

. three. three. three. three. three. video for your media project. joining us here on r.t. today. the recent american muslim film and the subsequent worldwide protests over it and once again driven up the clash of cultures right into the spotlight now new yorkers are being pushed to take sides in the conflict between muslims and israel he's an associate is that to find out what the locals think. believe the ads

calling for the defeat of jihad are being put up in ten subway stations in new york the messages cost over more than six thousand dollars come from a group that's accused of sparking hate by critics but has been given the green light by new york authorities only going up this monday the ads are already causing much debate are they too offensive to the muslim community or does freedom of speech conquer all let's find out what new yorkers have to say about this i'm shocked that that mayor bloomberg and his people are allowing it's just going to lead on to more and so i can tell you everything it's a good idea to have an anti islamic sentiment for some reason absolutely not but just perpetuates anti people sentiment controversial of course it's controversial is poisonous in the new york city subway system you know this is a city that's been wracked by a trauma for years and years and here we are after eleven years of war still using the language of war these ads are going up in new york subway stations today but what do you think about this. while i support israel the safety and peace and

security of israel i'm not for hate speech but at the same time we have a first amendment isn't really a very fine line between freedom of speech and offending but there is this freedom of speech there's also freedom of religion so you have to walk a fine line should be inside muslim but people still should be aware what they're doing the anti muslim ads are popping up at a time when protests continue raging in the middle east over film depicting the prophet mohammad so should new york officials have considered not just the substance but also the timing of this campaign they ought to be less this question and just let the thing that i add as a time because they they are you know they hate us over there whenever you start speaking against religion especially when tensions are globally the way that they are yeah i think there definitely be some consequences well could see how could my things complicated. where they would have an effect on the u.s. but we could use this as something against the u.s. do you think this could have a more dangerous consequence. sure the anti rimini new york city.

could lead to more dire consequences. is exactly what. you can express your view on this particular. case is a. hundred people. are

just twenty minutes past the hour here. the tide of illegal immigrants from africa to europe does not seem to be ebbing with many countries still struggling to return to normal life after the events of the arab spring but people who have overcome. by humans possible to. legal immigration in spain. it's a game of cat and mouse that denies humanity to anyone involved hundreds of sub-saharan immigrants hiding in a moroccan forest waiting for their chance to cross the last barrier on the way to europe. i've already cost twice but they caught me who is free to return the e.u. and spain please let us stay we don't want anything else god sends us don't hundred
